Tribesmen Break Camp Wednesday Morning; Reach Here April 8. RIDDLE EARNS BERTH To Release Daniels; Hauser Goes to Quincy. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fla.. April 2.—As Bruno Betzel's Indians took their final practice in Sarasota today before breaking spring training camp Wednesday morning, the opinion

was general that John Riddle, the Georgia you t h would get the call over Robert *Rcd> Munn for the second string catching job with the A. A. champions. Riddle has come through in splendid manner this spring and his form compared with a year ago has made a deep impression on the club bosses.

Kiddle

Riddle has the voice, build and hustle for an ideal backstop and the improvement he has shown in bating is sure to mean much m his favor and just about make him the reserve catcher to Joe Spvinz. who was purchased from the San Francisco Seals when the Tribe lost Roy Spencer. Munn has the advantage over Riddle in experience and possesses a wonderful throwing arm. but he lacks color and ‘aggressiveness and is unlikely to hit any better than Riddle in “Double A” baseball. Munn was purchased from Albany of the Eastern League during the winter on a conditional agreement and probably will be returned to tlu.t club within the next month if Riddle continues progressing to suit Manager Betzei. Quincy of the Three-I League would like to have Riddle back for the coming season and perhaps regular daily work in that circuit would benefit him, but it looks hke a better bet for the Indians to retain him and send Munn back to Albany, thereby saving $2,500, the sum the Tribe must pay if Munn is kept after May 15. Pitcher Earl Daniels will be released outright Thursday night, it v. ;> ■ announced Monday, and Pitcher George Hauser will be turned

CAMPUS COMMENT _ by KNUTE KOCKN’E— ——

NOT so many years ago I sat on the side lines as a competitor and watched Dray of Y'ale vault 12 feet 8 inches indoors. My feeling then was “well, this is about the limit of human skill and no dubt this record will stand for all time.” But through a period of years we have seen the record broken unexpectedly again and again by such men as Gardner of Y r ale, Wright of Dartmouth. Foss of Cornell and Hoff of Norway. Then last year we witnessed that great series of compe.it ion between Barnes of Southern California and Carr of \ r a!e, the winning heights always being 14 feet or over. Carr demonstrating his superiority whenever the two men actually met. My reaction at that time was that performers in the pole vault in the

Injuries to Shortstop Charley Geibert, Second Baseman Carey Selph and Third Baseman Fred Haney have upset Billy Southworth’s plans in picking the St. Louis Cardinals’ infield. Eddie Delker, the brilliant recruit, may crowd his way into the infield if circumstances prevent the regulars from getting back into playing condition betorc April 16. Jim Bottomley will play first base and Frankie Frisch will play second Failure of Heinie Schuble to make (he grade at shortstop has complicated the Detroit Tigers’ lineup. Bucky Harris is considering moving Gehringer from second base to shortstop and taking Gehringer's place himself to round out the Tigers’ infield. Bill Cissell's erratic playing and violation of the training rules has Lena Blackburn up in the air. The White Sox manager has benched the $123,000 shortstop and probably will start Bill Hunnefield at shortstop. Art Shires also may be benched in favor of Bud Clancy at first base. Ownie Bush’s plight might be worse but the scrappy little Hoosier would hate to think so. Pie Traynor’s injury may keep the Pirates’ captain on the bench and force Bush to shuffle his infield around again. With Traynor on the bench every place in the Pittsburgh Infield is uncertain. Sheely may play first, Grantham may play second, Bartel may play short and Adams may play third. Again Bush may shuffle up his infielders and draw anew lineup. Until Glenn Wright's arm is definitely pronounced sound, the Brooklyn infield is problematical. Even with Wright well and at shortstop. Uncle Wilbert Robinson has problems at second and third bases. Jake Flowers will play second if he is physically able, and Wally Gilbert will start at third base but how long he will remain there is a question.
